New Northeast Mini Galleries exhibition on now
The Northeast Public Art Initiative brings several public art projects to Calgary’s northeast communities, supports local artists, enhances northeast neighbourhoods and reflects the people who live in the communities where the art will be located.
This initiative aims to build amazing spaces for people to come together and provides opportunities for local artists to showcase their talent while celebrating the diversity of artforms, people and cultures represented in northeast Calgary. As a part of this initiative, the Northeast Mini Galleries launched in 2023 and showcased 39 local artists, selected by local art curators. Each mini gallery exhibition runs for a four-month period.
The current exhibition runs from July to October 2024 and has been curated by Tomas Jonsson. The participating artists, artworks and community locations are:
